Acute Nephritis Treatment

The treatment for acute glomerulonephritis depends on the underlying cause, as well as how poorly the kidneys are functioning. Mild cases of acute glomerulonephritis may resolve without treatment. Treatment is directed at the underlying cause, but also includes medications to control high blood pressure and a kidney diet to reduce the stress on the kidneys. Short-term kidney dialysis may be necessary for severe cases of glomerulonephritis that result in sudden kidney failure.
